How long and how many pounds down?


Recommended Posts

I think this will help us get an idea of how differently the band works for everyone. I thought we could post our band date and how many lbs we are down.

Banded March 28th so 4 months and a week

I have lost since surgery date 45 lbs

That averages a little over 10 lbs a month.

I will count from my most recent fill date April 17, 2008 (1 month after having my daughter)

That day I was 225

Today I am 188 (I can't believe that! I keep doing double-takes at my ticker!)

So that's 37 pounds down in 3.5 months, just over 10lbs a month.

My band date was 4/21/08 and I weighed 249 at time of surgery.

Today I am 210. I guess that puts me at about 12 lbs lost per month.

Hearing these makes me feel really good! I was hoping for 8-10 lbs a month but I wasn't sure if I was being realistic. But it looks really doable from reading on here.

Great job everyone! :D

Hey everyone --- you're all doing great!!!!!! I'm so excited to be getting banded later this month! I have a question -- do any of you exercise along with being banded? Does this help with losing the weight?

Hey Alana,

Congrats on the band date! You will be happy you did it! I personally do pilates, weights, and running each twice a week for about 20 minutes. As with any weight loss effort, exercise is often a key factor. I plan on stepping up my exercise routine when I hit a plauteau....

Banded: 5/7/08 189

1st fill: 7/4/08 184

Weight 7/10/08 180

My scale is broke so I haven't weighed myself in about a month and don't really want to. My clothes are not any loser and actually bought 1 size up, which doesn't make me happy at all. Totally discouraged! :((

Banded 6/4/06

Weight 9/07 280

Weight at Surgery date 240

!st fill 8/17/08 2.0 cc's in 4 cc band

Todays weight 228

Weight Loss in 2 months 12 pounds

Average 6 pounds per month since surgery.

Not as much as I'd hope but better than none. I also need to work harder to not binge on ice cream, sad but true. I tear up typing this. I must come to grips with what I want/need to do. I have not exercised much either. I just have NO energy whatsoever. Again sad but true. I barely make it through work. I have so much chronic pain I am unable to live life. I have been seeking medical treatment for almost 4 years now and nothing helps. Chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia SUCKS and yes it's real. So considering all that, I guess I am not doing too bad, at least I havn't gained up past where I was and AM losing. It could be worse.
